To all whom, it rota/y concern:

.Be a known that-#1, HARVEY PJJ o E'sm I citizen of theUnited States;residing at Ohi-. "cage, inthe county'of Oookand State of l'lliv nois,have invented a new andus'ef'uL Im'=j ,j provement in Holders; of whichthefollowing" is aspecifi cation. V

My invention relates] tohOIdersand' has particular reference to flooseleaff holders which employ containing cover -lsections spring-actuatedand-pintlediat one side and 1 having a pintled sectional-upper coveradapt- ,v itssections, and myinvention liesin the'itn- 15' provedconstruction ofthejpintle and at-,

ed to freely turn and fold back upon one of tendant parts of theholder.I

' My primary object is to simplify the'pintleconnectionsand facilitatethe assembling [of parts and the adjustment of spring-ten isio'n' at thepintle and also to provide a 'siinple stopto regulate the degrBQL 'fseparation'of the I icover-sections; Q 1f My invention is shown in itspreferred em r bodiment in the accompanying drawings, in' V y forationsatand theloopfci The-pintle-secwhich-- Figure 1 is'a .Yspective-showingthe stop means employed; 3, a view in perspective showing the of Fig. 4;and Fig; 7a perspective view'showembieaa.

The parts are assetnloled by bringing 'the annularprojections-into alineinent with each other to thus iforrnlajcontin'uons open ,ing, The lateral eitensions of the-spring are jinserted into the grooves inthe pintle'sec- Y by-the pin a,which'passesthrough the p'ertions care then m eanntu the proper ten sionis ,producedin the coils and the perfo rations in the harfregister vvith"thev perforations in the annular projections 17 b of the part'BT. Saidpintle-sections are then, se

cured in this position by inserting the pins b 'into theperforations'.W'henthe parts are thus assembled; the shoulders 'or oifsets (1 0 b bare in a position where' they oppose each other andserve to preventv thefurther separation ofthe cover-sectionspast apredetermined point.The-operation of theholder is Well nnder-' stood. The upper-coversection is.=raised against the-tension pot the'spring by awellvunderstood prying action and ,theleaves insex-ted betweenthespringectuated portions. The pressure of thecover secti'on serves tohold the loose'leaves inpositiongat the same time permitting of thereadyremoval of the same. The upper cover-section being freelyhinged,the free portion of the top cover-section may be folded back uponthe spring-ac of the loose leaves." 1 7 Changes in minor within thespirit of my inventionmay be detainee construction I03 tuatedportion,thus presenting the surfaces made. Hence no undue limitation is to heunderstood from the foregoing detailed description.

What I regard as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- 1. Ina holder, the combination of coversections, with a pintle comprising aspring connected with one of said covers, and pintle-' sections attachedto the ends of said spring and connected with the opposite cover.

2. In a holder, the combination of coversections, with a pintlecomprising a spring with reverse-wound spiral coils attached at itscentral portion to one of said covers, pintle-sections attached to theends of said spring and connected with the opposite cover.

3; In a holder, the combination of cover- ,sections, with a pintlecomprising a spring offsets, and a pintle comprising a spring withreverse-wound coils connected with one of said cover-sections andpintle-sections attached to said spring, said pintle-sections be ingconnected with the other one of said cover-sections.

5. In a holder, thecombination of coversections, with a pintle composedof a spring with reverse-wound coils attached at its central portion toone of said covers and pintlesections attached to said spring extendingapproximately to the edge of said covers, means for turning thepintle-sections and means for securing the pintle-sections to theopposite cover when the spring is adjusted.

6. In a holder, the combination of coversections provided withpintle-receiving perforations, with a pintle composed of a torsionspringconnected with one of said sections at the pintle, a pintle-sectionconnected with said spring and serving to produce torsion in the spring,and means for securing said pin tie-section while under stress to theother cover-section, substantially as described.
